Lakers hoping to win title with NBA’s oldest roster after free agency binge
NY Post
Are the Lakers too old to be championship contenders — or is L.A.’s new roster the right recipe of veterans to win it all?
When the free agency window opened on Aug. 2 at 6 p.m., LeBron James and the Lakers went on a shopping spree and added eight free agents in less than two days. They retooled the roster yet again, acquiring a string of seasoned stars, including Russell Westbrook, 32; Trevor Ariza, 36; Wayne Ellington, 33; Kent Bazemore, 32; and future Hall of Famers in Dwight Howard, 35, and 37-year-old Carmelo Anthony. The Lakers now have two of the top 10 scorers in NBA history in Anthony and James.
